If this is the same brush, here's what the guts look like
I know that Bernd offered to fix this one, but I believe he just epoxied it back in himself.

Hi syslight,
You have many choices but the one I use for brushes is "Locktite Marine Epoxy 2 hour set". I never had a knot come loose (knock on wood).

Heh, in my family it was supposed to get the attention of the "good" spirits so they could intercede with the "bad" ones on our behalf. I assumed that it dated back to when our ancestors were wandering around Europe rubbing blue mud on their bellies and whacking on trees with clubs. OTOH, it's part of Jewish tradition to so it probably predates the Druids by a good bit but no, I don't know the official explanation.

A total misnomer.the term Marine epoxy gets used all the time,any two part epoxy will work for brushes,makes me crazy/er. Originally Posted by Doryferon

Another pet peeve of Mine,people always say,let the epoxy Dry well before use,EPOXY DO"S NOT DRY.
Epoxy cures and hardens,Mini rant over,carry on.
